The evolution of the AA2030 alloy obtained by the ECAP and long-term natural aging (within 45 months) has been analyzed using electron microscopes. The average grain size of the ECAP treated samples is 420 and 380 nm along the routes Bc and C, respectively. Long-term natural aging contributes to transforming grain boundaries without changing their size. The results have shown that the structure, phase distribution, and stoichiometric composition of the inclusions differ significantly during annealing, equal-channel angular pressing, and long-term natural aging. The strain route affects the dissolution kinetics and evolution of inclusions. A mechanism for refining the grains is proposed that is associated with high dislocation density, dislocation cells, grain and subgrain boundaries, as well as the evolution of inclusions in the ECAP AA2030 alloys.

This study subjected two alloys to comparative creep tests and microstructural characterization. A novel low-cost iron-nickel superalloy with intermediate Ni and Fe content was designated in this work as Fe-Ni-Cr and the NIMONIC 80A with a high Ni. Creep experiments were carried out at temperatures ranging from 650 to 750 ◦ C and loads ranging from 500 to 600 MPa. Microstructural characterization and surface analysis were carried out using microscopy techniques such as optical, SEM with EDS, and TEM. For phase quantitative identification, Rietveld refinement was utilized. Compared to NIMONIC 80A, the new Fe-Ni-Cr superalloy showed higher creep resistance. The Fe-Ni-Cr alloy has higher percentages of carbon and iron and the addition of niobium, resulting in the formation of γ (cid:3) intermetallics and carbides rich in iron and niobium. These carbides and intermetallics operate as obstacles to dislocation glide and climb, lowering the creep rate. Compared to Fe-Ni-Cr, the reduced carbides in NIMONIC 80A promote relative slip between grains during deformation, facilitating creep rate acceleration and early failure.","PeriodicalId":49937,"journal":{"name":"Kovove Materialy-Metallic Materials","volume":"2014 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86768998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To increase its deficient mechanical and wear properties, researchers have conducted a lot of research in the past decades. Based on the research, graphene can be considered a good reinforcement due to its outstanding mechanical properties. The present paper discusses the properties of AA5083 Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) reinforced with graphene particles. Aluminium MMCs were fabricated using the stir casting method by varying graphene reinforcement (5 and 10 wt.%) with AA5083 (specimens B and C). The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDAX) analysis results confirmed the presence of graphene in the AA5083 matrix. The test results show that the tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength, and hardness were enhanced with the addition of graphene particles in the AA5083 matrix. The tribological behaviour of the MMCs was compared with the AA5083 matrix using a pin-on-disc wear test. The increase in wt.% of graphene reinforcement enhanced the wear resistance of the proposed MMCs. The large wear debris and crater were not noticed in the worn surfaces of the MMCs specimens.","PeriodicalId":49937,"journal":{"name":"Kovove Materialy-Metallic Materials","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81801172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
